Ally and Peyton
In July, Bob and I became the proud aunt and uncle of two sweet little kids.
Peyton is a sweet little boy who loves NASCAR and Spongebob.
Ally is a very outgoing little girl who loves the camera. She entertained us with her singing and dancing abilities.

Toxemia/preeclampsia Update
This morning we had our Non Stress Test. This test measures the heart rate while the babies are active and at rest. They did great! We are so grateful for this. Also, my blood pressure went down a few points! Yea! I will be continuing bed rest and praying that these boys can stay put until their lungs are fully developed.

Toxemia
On Monday I had my routine appointment and ultrasound. The boys are looking good. Baby A weighs in at 3 pounds and Baby B weighs in at 4 pounds 8 ounces. The weight difference concerns me but the doctor reminded me once again that they are two different babies. There are no signs of twin to twin transfusion syndrome. The babies look good and healthy and for this I'm grateful.
I also learned on Monday that I have developed toxemia. This was huge emotional blow to me. I was not expecting this. The doctor says we caught this early and he thinks I will deliver in three weeks. Tomorrow I have a non stress test to see how the boys are handling all of this.
Bob and I are so grateful for our family and friends. Knowing you guys have been lifting our family up in prayer brings tears to my eyes. Whenever I feel fear starting to creep in I read Psalm 139. The Lord has ordained all of their days before one of them came to be. Bob and I are placing our trust in God's perfect timing.

Dallas World Aquarium
Back in June my dad, sister and I went to the Dallas World Aquarium. I really haven't taken many pictures this year and it took me a while to remember what setting I should be using but I think I took some decent photos. Here are my unedited photos from that day.

Just a Little Overprotective
So far the most interesting thing about my pregnancy is how overprotective Bob has become. I would have never guessed that he would have so many questions and concerns regarding the pregnancy. Just a few examples:
Bob built me a fire pit in February and once I found out I was pregnant he banned me from it. Even after my doctor said it was safe he still wouldn't let me near the fire pit. Once he heard it would not hurt the babies from my OB/GYN then I was given the rights back to my fire pit.
In early March we found a snake in the backyard so now I'm not allow to pull weeds in the backyard. Never mind that the snake wasn't poisonous and that I check the area before I pull the weeds since we tend to get a lot of fire ants.

Our neighbors had a crawfish boil and Bob did not want me to eat any of the food that even touched a crawfish.
For my birthday we went to Galveston and Bob would not let me get in the water past my knees. He was afraid the waves would hurt the babies.
Even though he is overprotective I'm glad that he is taking an interest in the pregnancy. I just wonder how overprotective of the babies he's going to be.

Dear Dogs and Cats
The following was found posted very low on a refrigerator door….
Dear Dogs and Cats,
The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort, however. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It Is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - canine/feline attendance is not required. The proper order for kissing is: Kiss me first, and then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.
Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have posted the following message on the front door:
TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT & LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR
PETS: (1) They live here. You don't. (2) If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'fur'-niture.(3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people. (4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly. Remember, dogs and cats are better than kids because they: (1) eat less, (2) don't ask for money all the time, (3) are easier to train,(4) normally come when called, (5) never ask to drive the car, (6) don't hang out with drug-using people; (7) don't smoke or drink, (8) don't want to wear your clothes, (9) don't have to buy the latest fashions, (10) don't need a gazillion dollars for college and (11) if they get pregnant, you can sell their children.

Bob sent this to me the day after I took this picture.
